Loved the Limes!

We had a great overnight stay here. Staff were lovely, check in was smooth, & they'll give you cheap ($13) 24hr parking which is just next door. Its so close to James St (5min walk) with fab restaurants & shopping, & a stones throw to Fortitude Vally Station. We stayed in a courtyard room & yes the rooms are teeny, but so well designed, you don't feel cramped & have great details like a Nespresso coffee machine, the softest robes, yummiest brownies, L'Occitane products, great interior mags & a hammock in the private courtyard! The rooftop bar was magic, we received complimentary drinks on checkin, so headed up before going out to dinner.. We will definitly be back for our next city break!More

Limes is a really nice place for a quick trip. Despite the small room it's a really fun and modern place to stay. I would recommend the stay to be 1-3 days long. It was perfect for us because we wanted to be close to bars in the Valley and to restaurants in the City. I stayed with my girlfriend and we were there for 3 days.

It's best for a quick trip because after a while the limited facilities can get a tad annoying. Unless you have the money to pay for breakfast; lunch and dinner every single day.

The staff are absolutely amazing, friendly and helpful in every way. They organised dates and limo transfers for us.

Overall it's a great place for going out each night and for the convenience of heading up to the roof top bar every night. The bar is amazing, we ate there before dinner every night. It is relaxing and a really friendly and social environment.

Thank you Limes!!!

My wife and I came here for our first holiday together in 10 years. We left the kids behind and ventured off for our romantic getaway. First of all, if you're looking for a quiet time, don't come to Limes - actually, don't come to the Valley - it is a vibrant and wonderfully diverse part of town and we loved every minute. Service was excellent (Henry is a legend) - rooms were always clean, albeit a little cosy.

The hotel is very close to both the Emporium, James St and Brunswick street, so close to some great eateries - only a 30 min walk to the CBD.

One drawback is that very few of the taxis knew where it was and a few got lost, even with their GPS - this is more a comment about Brisbane taxi drivers, rather than Limes, though. Other drawbacks included the construction noise from next door at 6:30am and the lack of any decent views. The bar on the roof was noisy, but we slept fine after a long day of sightseeing and after eating plenty of good food.

Overall, we would come again as a couple, but leave your family behind!!!

Room Tip: Get a lower level room if you want to sleep better - the rooftop bar is loud!

This is a mediocre hotel whose saving grace for me was that is very close to the train station and within walking distance of many shops and excellent food and nightlife. I chose this hotel mainly due to the fact that it is part of the Design hotel group. However after staying at Limes Hotel Brisbane, I would say it does not fit in with the quality and expectations of the Design hotels. The staff were polite, attentive and friendly but this was not enough to outweigh the many shortcomings. Aside from a couple of pluses, such as the coffee making machine and bench top service area with sink, so you don't have to use the bathroom sink for drinks and washing up, and the good quality bedlinen, in most other aspects we were disappointed. When we booked, one of the attractions was the private cinema which is also the only sit down lounge area on the premises, but this was booked out on all three nights with public functions. The Limes Bar is a haven for folk under 25, almost exclusively (on the 3 nights I was there anyway) so not very sophisticated due to the very young age group. The bar is very ordinary, but the young patrons would be unlikely to notice. Housekeeping has some very definite problems going on. There are strong detergent or disinfectant smells in the hallways, which were quite unpleasant. The room was small but acceptable in size, with an outside balcony. One great plus was the free use of the Fitness First gym, two minutes around the corner. This hotel does not live up to its promise - I did not have any sense of good architecture or good design. I would not choose this hotel again.

Limes is a nice little hotel and the staff are generally excellent and friendly. However as the other reviews state here, the rooms are tiny. Because of this I would only ever consider staying at Limes if I was travelling solo. I really don't know how two people could actually stay in one of these rooms. The roof top bar was disappointing. After reading some reviews I thought this was going to be special, however it wasn't. I arrived at 1pm on a Saturday and was looking forward to a couple of relaxing drinks before heading out, however it didn't open till 3pm. The one plus about the bar was they had some excellent craft beers.Other than the bar there is virtually no public space in this hotel.The room amenities were excellent but because the rooms are so small you don't really feel like staying in them.Next time I am in Brisbane I will try another hotel.

Room Tip: Don't stay on the top floor. The roof top bar is only one floor up and can get very noisy.

we booked this hotel as we are from the gold coast and needed a room for the night as we were going to entertainment centre to watch a concert. The rooms are small but spacious enough, great for a night or weekend, or a week if you are working in the city and just need a bed. LOVELY nespresso coffee machine with free coffee! Yummy chocolate brownies on arrival and free cocktail at the roof top bar/cinema (i ordered the $18 one of course!) Very tidy and funky insidt, lots of interior mags to read in room which i like! Mini Bar, view was pretty bad...but it doesnt phase me staring at a brick wall as it was just for the night, I probably wouldnt stay here for a holiday if you are expecting a 'resort' style room overlooking a pool or something! Close to many bars, bar upstairs, train station 100 meters away, very handy, we stayed sat night and i had no problems with noise (we were level 2). Great for a party weekend!!!
